Hebrews 4:3 For only we who believe can enter his rest...
Have you ever felt like you're being pulled in all directions, that there's so much to do and so many demands on your time? We've probably all experienced it at some point but what do we do about it?
God tells us to ask Him for wisdom and to turn to the Holy Spirit for help so that's the best place to start. Maybe we're doing things off our own backs that God never asked us to do. So it makes sense to check on our 'To Do' list because we may need to say no to some of them.
Our own mind set has a lot to do with it as well. If we're thinking "I have so many responsibilities, I have to fix this or that, I can't cope with it all", we've fallen into the 'I' trap.
But be encouraged because God tells us we're one spirit with Jesus now, that His Spirit actually lives in us, so we're no longer just I, but now it's we. Instead we can know, 'the Holy Spirit and I will do things together, we're now a team. Together we can do whatever God has put on my To Do list.' When we know it's not all up to us anymore it brings a peace and a rest into our spirit.
Whatever God wants us to do Jesus has already gone ahead and prepared the way. He's also equipped and qualified us. God has already chosen the people to be in our lives and if we rest in that knowledge we wont get frustrated and upset. He's already prepared the job or the house or whatever which is right for us so we can rest knowing it's a good one which will be a blessing.
It all comes down to Jesus, all He bought and paid for on the cross for us and our trust in Him. When we know and remember He only wants what is good for us we can rest in Him and have peace about it.
